The research was carried out on DNA samples of 112 male-to-female transsexuals, which were compared with the samples from 250 men. The team constituting of American and Australian scientists say, It is known that longer versions of the androgen receptor gene are associated with less efficient testosterone signaling and this reduction in the action of the male sex hormone may have an effect on gender development in the womb and contributes to the female gender identity of male to female transsexuals.

It's an accepted medical condition and sex reassignment surgery after at least one year of supervision with a psychologist to assure there are no additional mental disorders is the accepted treatment.

Why are you an expert?

Are you a doctor? Are you a therapist?

If so, then please - by all means - share. If you're not, STFU.

Why must you barge your way into other people's lives?

I thought you were for liberty and freedom. It's proof of your hypocrisy that you feel the need to inject your opinion into people's lives who have done you no harm, not restricted your rights in the least - but you feel the need to insult them and tell them what you think of them.

Why are you so superior that you get to decide for others?

The POINT to it. Show us the medical text. Show us the studies that claim it is traced back to a medical condition found in all of transsexuals.

I'll be generous. Find any study that finds it in just 75% of all transsexuals.

We think these genetic differences might reduce testosterone action and under-masculinise the brain during foetal development. There is a social stigma that transsexual is simply a lifestyle choice. However, our findings support a biological basis of how gender identity develops.

Once again reading helps. This is so true of so many studies on this subject. Someone reads the headline and doesn't look at facts.

Hint: We "think" and "might" is not scientific backing. Its theory.

Only because you say so. You offer no real proof. You asked a question and got an answer and now your ranting and raving about crap I never even did. There are in fact people who claim to be other animals trapped in human form. There are those who go to extreme lengths in changing their body around to match the animal they feel is inside them. Many claim to have always felt that way.

If you didn't want the answer, you shouldn't have asked the question.

You know the time is right to take control, we gotta take offense against the status quo
